Valerian Root Whole Root (Valeriana officinalis)

This beautiful plant is used so much in the manufacturing of various herbal products that the roots are automatically ground to a powder at the farms. Many of the most active volatile oils evaporate and it is left far less active than when the roots remain intact. For that reason, we have contracted with a grower to provide us with whole roots.

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a hardy perennial flowering plant, with heads of sweetly scented pink or white flowers. Valerian has a long history of use in herbal medicine in which it is widely referred to as a non-addictive sedative herb. Valerian root contains many constituents, including essential oils that appear to contribute to the herb's calming qualities. In the form of an extract, valerian root is known for promoting subjective calm and relaxation and often recommended to those who occasionally have trouble falling asleep.*
